Twin Cities Pride staff taking a break after a great InterPride conference in San Diego this past week. Lots of information was shared in workshops and great networking was done, not only with other Pride organizers in the United States, but those around the world as well. We must continue to unite and create the change we need to help each and every one of us be able to live as our authentic selves.

The story of my Catalan ancestors, the Ferran and Subira families, is a testament to the resilience, determination, and pursuit of freedom that defines the Catalan people. Fleeing Franco's oppressive regime during the Spanish Civil War, they embarked on a courageous journey from Catalonia to seek refuge in pre-Castro Cuba, where they began rebuilding their lives, preserving their Catalan heritage amidst a foreign land. Their quest for a brighter future took them to pre-Castro Cuba, where they established themselves and worked hard to create a new life. However, in 1961, when Castro took over in a coup, they found themselves fleeing communism once more, leading them to seek exile in Miami, Florida, where I was born. The vibrant Cuban exile community in Miami welcomed the Catalan families with open arms, offering them a new beginning in a land that embraced their resilience and the values they held dear. My personal connection to this story reflects the Catalan character, valuing hard work, honesty, and respect for others. Growing up in Miami, I inherited the Catalan appreciation for diversity, forging lifelong friendships and embracing the unique blend of cultures that define my hometown. This tale of my family's journey from Catalonia to pre-Castro Cuba and then to exile in Miami is more than just history—it's a living legacy of bravery and adaptability, a story of escaping oppression not once, but twice, and it continues to shape my character, influencing how I approach life and blending the best of two worlds into a unique and inspiring narrative. https://lnkd.in/g5aC5jfY

I raise my hands to MP Gord Johns, NDP Courtenay-Alberni, B.C., for speaking to the House of Commons about the lack of investment in language revitalization in the 2024 federal budget. Gord Johns reads a quote from FPCC's Board Chair, Carla Lewis, who highlights the dedication and hard work of communities fighting for our language rights to keep our languages alive. Now, more than ever, it is urgent to prioritize investments in long-term sustainable funding for First Nation languages and heritage. https://lnkd.in/gVw-fTtq

I like to highlight one indigenous principle here: Make decisions not only with your family in mind, but the next 7 generations coming after you. How would that change your decisions when applied to your life?
In honor of International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples, we suggest taking a moment to listen. Listen to the voices of the Indigenous community, respect the culture, and acknowledge whose land you’re really standing on.
